The amount €630,000 and a quite lengthy jail term is something surely no professional poker pro ever wants to pay for, so next time if you're good enough to win such a hefty amount at any poker event, then the humongous tax you're about to pay is something you should be happy to part with, or else...suffer the dire consequences.

708 players signed up for the second flight of the EPT Barcelona Main Event, which brought the total number of entrants to 1,226 - a new record for EPT Barcelona! However, the number of entrants is still not final as the registration is open until the beginning of Day 2 (a new rule change for EPT season 10 that applies to all High Roller events, Super High Rollers and Main Events) and the all-time record EPT field outside of the PCA is in serious jeopardy. The current record hasn't been broken since Season 6, when the San Remo Main Event attracted 1,240 players!

On Sunday, the first day of the 2013 EPT Barcelona Main Event kicked at the Casino Barcelona. 518 entered the tournament for €5,300 each and battled for eight 75-minute levels. A total of 308 players made it through the day and Dragan Kostic was the only player to surpass 200k in chips. The Spaniard, who finished second to Martin Schelich in Season 8's EPT Barcelona Main Event, will be joined to Day 2 by Team PokerStars Pros Marcel Luske, Vanessa Selbst, Jonathan Duhamel, Jason Mercier, Eugene Katchalov, and others.
